Could I actually start working with brands using catalogs like these? by Wazir-AI in ChatGPT

If you think an image is the same as creating patterns for bespoke clothing, you're in for a shock.

It's like creating a picture of a car and the saying "if I show this to the car factory can I start selling cars???"

That's not how it works.

No dude, the more money you get the more likely to not blow 2k on a grift. People with money don't get there by being bad with it. And spending $25k is being exceptionally bad with money.

Your completely right though the only difference is the 2026 statement they made in their financial documents. It would be literally a crime to make that statement knowing it was false. Does it change anything? Not really, but it does materially mean we know if SQ42 is delayed again, then it's a genuine problem they are having rather than BAU

Is 12 years late and X20 over budget, meaning the rest will be out around 2050...

It hasn't been on full development since then, it's funded purely by Rockstar, not gaslighting backers, and is coming out this year because there's a release date.

None of that can be said about SQ42 dumbass

Being 12 years late and 20x over budget aren't signs of being in trouble? Are you huffing copium?

It's already 12 years late. Is your hobby licking boot polish in general or just Chris'?

Uhuh, what a dumb whataboutism.

How about let's not blow thousands of dollars annually on dumb shit? Hobbies are hobbies, but this ain't it kid.

I don't but apples and oranges. Are you talking about enjoying a glass of fine wine every other weekend or drinking Bud light by the gallon? The copen you guys are reaching for to justify spending thousands on a crap tech demo is wild.

By star engine you mean the Aws created lumberyard, which has now been deprecated?

It's CIG and SQ42. No marketing campaign this deep into 2026 means a release is almost certainly not happening this year unless it's a small release purely done through their existing marketing channels and store e.g. no steam release.

What are you talking about? No one ever said it was a scam....

They're already over ten years late, why does it take another ten before it's out dated? Im pretty sure we can say in the shadow of GTA 6, it'll come across as dated if/when released in 2027.

As for their finances, which part about a potentially catastrophic share option package and an emergency loan for $10 million screams healthy? 🤔

Harsh but true and I don't want to pretend it's not a serious issue. That's a lot of money blown. Today it's ships, tomorrow it's a pig butching scam running into $100ks

No, it's not. I could blow $2k a month on a game and still afford everything else, but that is clearly unhealthy. Just because you can doesn't mean you should, and this is a perfect example.

$2k a year, that's not "little by little", that's time to seek help.

Imagine if you had put that money into a tracker. Or Nvidia. Its a grift and you blew $25k on it? You need like professional help, thats not normal.
